A voting test would just become voter suppression and electoral tampering. Even if it was implemented in good faith (doubt), it would still be full of implicit biases from whoever made it
And even if you kept it about really basic civil questions, that would disenfranchise people who had terrible educations or childhood situations - a demographic with a big overlap with poverty and race etc

It’s a discussion in many classrooms. And also an old one.
Eventually it comes down to “who watches the watchmen”.
Who makes these tests? How can we make sure they are correct and good tests?
Still… We also don’t let anyone drive cars or own guns… … Ehm … Wait… :-)
